The new BMW 4 Series Convertible raises the stakes in open top motoring

- RICHARD AUGUSTIN

CONVERTIBLES ARE SOMEWHAT of an acquired taste. Most may not appreciate the wind-in-your-face experience and open-air driveability of the vehicle, especially in a subtropical climate. Still, for those who have experienced owning or driving a convertible will happily admit there is nothing more exhilarating than driving with the top down.

For those in the market for a droptop, allow us to point you to the nearest BMW showroom to check out the new BMW 4 Series Convertible. The new model takes the open top concept to new heights with its stunning standalone design, advance chassis, and brand-new soft-top construction. The German marquee claims that the new model delivers BMW’s hallmark driving pleasure in a highly exclusive form. No doubt, it’s a bold claim, but one that is decisively true.

Sporty Prowess

Sharper than its predecessor and echoing the bold style of the BMW 4 Series Coupé, the new BMW 4 Series Convertible blends sporting driving pleasure and open-air thrills to continue the 35-year legacy in this model class that began with the first BMW 3 Series Convertible.

The open-top four-seater, rolls-out with striking proportions and a low-slung silhouette that befits its sporty yet elegant profile. The midsized BMW convertible boasts a definitive design, emphasised by a new revised kidney grille. The signature feature is not just for aesthetic purposes but to optimise cooling. Flanked by full-LED headlights, it gifts the BMW 4 Series Convertible with an expressive front end.
